Hawkshead, the charming village, preserves the beauty and character that drew its most famous residents, William Wordsworth, and Beatrix Potter, to it. Between the whitewashed 17th century houses, visitors can explore the abundance of little passageways, thoroughfares, archways, and courtyards. The Beatrix Potter Gallery, which holds an annual changing exhibition of the famed author's pictures and stories, is one of the village's numerous attractive inns, teashops, guest rooms, and gift shops. William Wordsworth, another famous Hawkshead fan, attended the Old Grammar School from 1779 to 1787, and you can visit the building where the Lakeland poet developed his love of the form, and even see the desk where he scrawled his name as a tiny boy!

Larger than expected so plenty of space for 2 adults and 2 medium dogs. Kitchen has everything you need (apart from an ice box as the per the listing but that wasn't really an issue - just an observation) - plenty of crockery, cutlery, cookware, etc ; toaster, kettle, microwave, dishwasher and washer dryer. Bathroom has a lovely shower but the bath isn't really usable as such due to the size and shape. We only used the master bedroom which has a very firm bed and pillows. Hard floors throughout which is ideal with dogs as we could but our throws down to catch muddy/wet feet and run Henry and a mop around each day to keep clean. Loads of walking on the doorstep - you can follow footpaths out to Lakeside, the East side of Coniston and around Grizedale and Furness. Bardsea Beach, Newby Bridge, Ambleside, Hawkshead, Tarn Hows and Coniston all within 30 minutes drive. Points to note : - the stairs are steep, narrow and painted so non-slip footwear is a good idea - there are no local shops (if you need milk, bread, veggies, etc) so take all you need or stock up on your travels

This property was very clean and great for a short break away. The location was ideal for exploring this part of the Lake District. Would have no hesitation in recommending this cottage to anyone looking to book a holiday.
